Exoplanet Palette

the colour scheme of every known exoplanet, derived from physics
The colour

Computed from each planet's reflected-light spectrum (albedo model × host-star spectrum) via CIE 1931 colour matching — no photographs involved.

Two views

Every planet is shown both ways: the full modelled spectrum, and what the Roman Coronagraph would recover from just four bands. For Roman's ~dozen tech-demo targets, the four-band view will one day be replaced by real measured data.

Honesty

Both are modelled predictions, not photographs.

Modelling 953 of the ~6300 known exoplanets — the nearest that pass our data-completeness gate. ⇄ Compare two planets →
